...proficiency in the health sciences are especially strong. I've been involved in multiple tutoring programs since my freshman year of high school. After completing my organic chemistry course at Loyola University Chicago, my professor hired me as a TA, and I maintained that job for one year until I graduated. I am also a certified MCAT/ACT instructor. Additionally, I've spent over one year as a tutor at the tutoring center at Loyola University Chicago. I...

As student at The University of Chicago and future management consultant, I have honed my academic and test-taking skills to a high degree over the years and would be honored to support other students in their journey to achieve their academic goals. I'm very flexible with scheduling and can accommodate in-person tutoring nearly anywhere in the Chicago metropolitan area.

...a complete understanding, but it also drives me to improve how I explain a concept. My passion for being a tutor comes from my family. I am the oldest son in a family of four children and took great pride helping my younger siblings with their homework while I was in high school. In my free time, I enjoy being active. I played collegiate lacrosse and also enjoy surfing, running, and playing soccer when I...

...revolves around mentoring and friendship. I hope to learn from all of you as much as you will learn from me. I firmly believe that success in any field lies in first understanding the concepts fully and then applying them to different problems. Hence, in my tutoring sessions, I first explain the concepts, which are followed by examples. All my sessions, however, are tailored to every student's need and I welcome suggestions and constructive criticism.

...a degree in Neurobiology. I have 8 years of experience tutoring students of various age groups and backgrounds, from middle school ESL students to Harvard biology concentrators. In tutoring sessions, one of my main goals is to convey a love for learning to my students; I believe that cultivating an interest in the subject and implications of the material being studied is the most effective way to master the material (while also enjoying the process!).

Olivia
...simple and practical solutions rather than insurmountable hurdles. While I tutor in many subject areas, my passion and joy is in the sciences and mathematics. I have always seen education and learning as some of the most exciting and important opportunities in life, and I try to pass on this joy to all of my students. Outside of education I also love traveling, even within my own city, finding it's hidden streets and historic landmarks.

Jonathan
...in a way that makes sense to them. My tutoring philosophy revolves around the Socratic method: namely, I try to help the student discover the subject for themselves versus me simply giving them the answers. I believe that (guided) personal discovery leads not only to greater understanding, but greater knowledge retention as well. Additionally, as someone who played Division III basketball in college, I have also been doing private basketball lessons where many of the...

...and master material. We all learn in different ways and I think that identifying our strengths and weaknesses as learners can help us succeed as well as know when to ask for help. Certain subjects and the methods by which they are delivered may not fit the learning style that best serves you - this is where I feel tutors can provide assistance in order to keep up your confidence and progress. I greatly enjoy...

Tim
...extremely productive. My favorite subjects to tutor are Biology, Anatomy and Physiology, MCAT preparation, Chemistry, Genetics, Biochemistry and Microbiology. I offer my students a wealth of hands-on experience in the biological sciences through my exposures in the field of medicine, which allows me to apply real world applications to my tutoring sessions. In my free time, I enjoy playing basketball with my classmates, watching the Bulls, Blackhawks and Cubs, playing golf, running, and hiking with...
